Lima | An indigenous village in Peru has agreed to end its two-month road blockade of MMG Ltd's copper mine Las Bambas in exchange for a commitment from the company to pay it for travelling through its farmland, according to a document detailing the deal on at the weekend.

The road blockades by the community, Fuerabamba, should be lifted by Monday, the document said. It was signed by the president of Fuerabamba, Gregorio Rojas, Peru's Prime Minister and the mine's manager after 10 hours of talks in the capital, Lima.
